2018 MORGAN 4/41.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The August 2025 test at 9,140 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consecutive series of clean passes in August 2024 at 8,054 miles and August 2022 at 5,938 miles. The maintenance trend appears to be improving or at least stabilizing, as the vehicle has moved past previous mechanical failures to maintain a defect-free status for the last three years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2018 model, averaging approximately 1,142 miles per year. The data shows a very gradual increase in distance, moving from 4,198 miles in August 2021 to 9,140 miles in August 2025. This low usage suggests the vehicle is likely stored in a controlled environment or used only for seasonal leisure driving. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such infrequent use can sometimes lead to seized components or degraded fluids if the vehicle sits idle for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the steering system during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows a recurring issue with steering rack gaiters, which failed in August 2021 at 4,198 miles on the nearside and again in August 2023 at 6,868 miles on the offside. Although the 2025 test shows no current defects, the repetition of this fault suggests a potential vulnerability in the steering rack seals or boot longevity. Inspecting the integrity of these rubber gaiters for splits or perishing is essential to prevent dirt ingress and subsequent steering rack damage. Given the low annual mileage, a thorough check of the braking system and tyre condition is also advisable. Infrequent use can lead to uneven tyre flat-spotting or brake disc corrosion. Verify that the calipers move freely and that the discs show no signs of heavy surface pitting from periods of inactivity. Ensuring all rubber components, including suspension bushes and steering linkages, remain supple despite the low usage will confirm the vehicle has been maintained correctly during its periods of storage.
